The disclosure is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. Other embodiments of the invention may comprise any combination of features from one or more dependent claims and these features may be incorporated in any independent claim, either collectively or individually.
As used herein, unless otherwise limited or modified, a list of elements (elements in the list being separated by a conjunction (e.g., "and") and further preceded by the phrase "one or more" or "at least one") denotes a configuration or arrangement that may include individual elements of the list or any combination of such elements. For example, "at least one of A, B and C" or "one or more of A, B and C" means the possibility of only A, only B, only C or any combination of two or more of A, B and C (e.g., A and B; B and C; A and C; or A, B and C).
Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows a work vehicle 10 having a frame 15. The work vehicle 10 is shown as a compact track loader 20. The present disclosure contemplates other types of work vehicles 10, including, for example, skid steer loaders and dozers. At least one ground engaging device 25 is coupled to frame 15 and is configured to support frame 15 above surface 30 and move work vehicle 10 along surface 30. The illustrated ground engaging devices 25 are a pair of tracks 35. The ground engaging means 25 may be wheels (not shown).
An operator station 40 is connected to the frame 15. The operator station 40 may have a door (not shown).
Boom assembly 45 is coupled to frame 15. Boom assembly 45 includes a pair of upper links 50 coupled to frame 15. A pair of lower links 55 are coupled to frame 15. A pair of boom cylinders 60 are coupled to frame 15, with one boom cylinder 60 on each side of work vehicle 10. Boom cylinder 60 may be a hydraulic actuator 65 or an electric actuator 70. A pair of boom arms (boom arms) 75 are coupled to the upper link 50 and the lower link 55 and are positioned one on each side of the work vehicle 10. A pair of booms 75 are connected to the boom cylinder 60. The boom cylinder 60 is configured to move the boom assembly 45.
Referring to fig. 2, the attachment coupler 80 is coupled to the distal portion 85 of the boom assembly 45. At least one tilt cylinder 90 is coupled to the boom assembly 45 and the attachment coupler 80 and is configured to move the attachment coupler 80. The tilt cylinder 90 may be a hydraulic actuator 92 or an electronic actuator 94. The tilt cylinder 90 has a fully extended position 95 (fig. 3), a mid-range position 100 (fig. 2) and a fully retracted position 105 (fig. 4).
With continued reference to fig. 2, the attachment 110 is coupled to the attachment coupler 80. The attachment 110 includes an attachment frame 115 coupled to the attachment coupler 80. The attachment frame 115 has a lower portion 120, an upper portion 125, a front surface 127 and a rear surface 130. The rear surface 130 has an upper half 135 and a lower half 140. Referring to fig. 2, in the operational position 145 of the attachment 110, the rear surface 130 is inclined forward 150, or in the direction of the forward stroke, with the upper half 135 located forward 150 of the lower half 140, which helps to increase the lift height of the attachment 110 when the tilt cylinder 90 is in the fully retracted position 105 because the tilt cylinder 90 has more travel from the more extended mid-range position 100 to the fully retracted position 105. Referring to fig. 4, in the raised position 155 of the attachment 110, the rear surface 130 is inclined to the rear 160, or in the direction of the rearward stroke, and the lower half 140 of the rear surface 130 is located forward 150 of the upper half 135.
Referring to fig. 5, the joint 165 is coupled to the lower portion 120 of the attachment frame 115 and the blade 170. The fitting 165 has a lower surface 175 and an upper surface 180. Referring to fig. 2, lower surface 175 is positioned a distance 185 from surface 30.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the joint 165 may be a ball joint 190. The joint 165 may be coupled to the blade 170 at a first axis of rotation 195, and the at least one deflection cylinder 200 may be coupled to the blade 170 at a second axis of rotation 205. The deflection cylinder 200 may be a hydraulic actuator 202 or an electronic actuator 204. The second axis of rotation 205 may lie in a first plane 210 (fig. 1). The first axis of rotation 195 and the second axis of rotation 205 may intersect at or near the center of the joint 165. The first axis of rotation 195 may be perpendicular to the second axis of rotation 205.
The blade 170 may be a dozing blade 215. Dozer blade 215 may have an operating position 145 (FIG. 2) with tilt cylinder 90 in mid-range position 100 and a raised position 155 (FIG. 4) with tilt cylinder 90 in fully retracted position 105.
Referring to fig. 2, a deflection cylinder 200 may be coupled to the lower portion 120 of the attachment frame 115 and the blade 170. A portion 225 of the deflection cylinder 200 may be positioned below the upper surface 180 (fig. 5) of the joint 165.
The horizontal joint centerline 230 of the joint 165 may be offset from the horizontal deflection cylinder centerline 235 of the deflection cylinder 200 by 37 millimeters or less. Advantageously, this helps to reduce cross-functional interactions, such as unwanted tilting of blade 170 during a yawing motion, which improves control accuracy over the grade of surface 30 with fewer passes of work vehicle 10. Alternatively, the deflection cylinder 200 may be positioned such that the horizontal deflection cylinder centerline 235 and the horizontal joint centerline 230 are coincident lines with no offset (not shown) between them to reduce cross-functional interaction.
Referring to fig. 5, a blade tilt cylinder 240 may be coupled to the upper portion 125 of the attachment frame 115. The blade tilt cylinder 240 may be a hydraulic actuator 242 or an electronic actuator 244. Referring to fig. 2, the blade tilt cylinder 240 may be coupled to the blade 170 at a third axis of rotation 245 that lies in the first plane 210 (fig. 1). The blade tilt cylinder 240 is configured to tilt one side of the blade 170 in an upward or downward direction.
The adjustable link 250 may be coupled to the upper portion 125 of the attachment frame 115. Adjustable link 250 may include threads 252 for manual adjustment. Alternatively, adjustable linkage 250 may be a hydraulic actuator 253 or an electronic actuator 254. The adjustable link 250 may be coupled to the blade 170 at a fourth axis of rotation 255 that lies in a second plane 260 (fig. 1), the second plane 260 being forward 150 of and parallel to the first plane 210. The first plane 210 and the second plane 260 may be offset by 30mm or less to reduce cross-functional interaction.
Referring to fig. 6, alternatively, the adjustable link 250 may be coupled to the blade 170 at a fourth axis of rotation 255 that lies in the first plane 210. The adjustable link 250 may extend partially or completely over the blade 170.
